This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the vibrant commercial atmosphere of Piccadilly Circus in 1969. The viewpoint looks toward the London Pavilion, which is adorned with legendary neon signs including “Max Factor,” “Gordon’s Gin,” and “Wrigley’s Spearmint.” A large billboard for “Mon Chéri” liqueur cherry chocolates by Ferrero dominates the facade, alongside advertisements for “Embassy” cigarettes and the “Daily Express” newspaper. To the right, a theatre billing for the film “Three Into Two Won’t Go” is visible on the London Pavilion. In the foreground, the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain and statue of Eros are surrounded by crowds of people enjoying the summer air. Pedestrians in late-sixties fashion, including a man in a brown suit and a woman in a short white dress, populate the busy street level. This digital download is a marvellous record of the city’s social and architectural history, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage urban wall art.
